VISTA – A Valley Center man accused of wringing a kitten's neck as his girlfriend watched in horror was ordered Thursday to stand trial on an animal cruelty charge.

Albert Aguire faces three years in prison if convicted in the death April 25 of Louise Jaskolka's kitten, Nick, prosecutor Katherine Flaherty said.

Jaskolka and Aguire lived in separate trailers at the Oakvale Mobile Home Park in Valley Center, Flaherty said.

Sheriff's deputy Craig Rembold testified in Superior Court Thursday that Jaskolka was holding the kitten's body in a towel when he arrived at the mobile home park about 8 p.m. that day. Jaskolka told him that she had bought the cat for $20 that day in a feed store and Aguire, while visiting her that evening, said he didn't like kittens and threatened to kill it.

She said Aguire grabbed the kitten, made a quick wringing motion as he held it, then threw the animal out the door, according to the deputy. The kitten was convulsing when she went to retrieve it. It died a few moments later.

Aguire, 53, the handyman at the complex, denied hurting the kitten, Rembold said.

"I did not know she had a kitten," the deputy said Aguire told him. "I didn't see one."

Judge Richard Mills rejected defense lawyer Solomon L. Rouston's request to release Aguire without bail and ordered Aguire held at the Vista jail in lieu of $25,000 bail.

$25,000 bail?  For a kitten?  That's stinkin' INSANE!

Shouldn't be killing kittens that don't belong to you, but $25k?  That's nuts.

He's crazy enought to wring the neck of a kitten so I suspect he's no Boy Scout. Let him sit in jail for awhile.

Mr. Trailertrash probably should have been charged with domestic violence too. Killing the kitten appears to be his method of intimidating and controlling the girlfriend. I bet a 53 YO handyman in a trialer park has spent lots of prior time in the graybar hotel.

That kitten was a helpless, defenseless little animal, give me one reason why it deserved to have it's neck broken in the manner in which it was!

OK, I'm convinced now!  We should put duck hunters and chicken farmers in jail too.  Duck farmers shoot defenseless ducks that don't shit in your house like a cat and chicken farmers wring their chickens neck which is inhumane!

The cat was property. This guy stole and destroyed private property and should pay, but doesn't deserve the death penalty.

It is different if it's yours and you see it. If you kill him, you'll get manslaughter instead of 2nd degree murder.

Animal rights, my ass.  That kitten was not killed for food, just for pure meanness.  Yeah, I'm prochoice, but that had nothing to do with what I said.  If a topic is about abortion, fine, but this is not and some people have to throw that into every damn thread.

No, I don't vote Democrat because their social issues and gun control is not enough to vote for them even though I am pro-choice.

Yes, I would kill some asshole who was killing an animal just to be cruel.  If the son of a bitch will do that, he would do the same to a person.

I'm not saying he didn't commit a cruel act but shit its a cat. The bitch is probably lying anyway.

I hardly see how killing a kitten means he would automatically do the same to a human.  Maybe he knows the difference between a human and an animal unlike too many people.  Thank you Walt Disney.

That was very cruel, but I think he owes her $20, a small fine and maybe a couple of nights in the slammer as far as the courts are concerned.  Outside of that he needs his ass kicked so hard he has to pry his butthole open just to see daylight.

The problem I see with this is the precedent it sets towards hunters.  If this continues, we will see hunters on trial for cruelty to animals.  The petahead dream.

See the problem here is that a cat gives us love while an unborn baby actually hinders ones lifestyle.  That's why a cat is worth more then a baby.

Yes what the guy did is cruel, but it is still a fucking cat.  I have killed many cats myself.  I have also killed squirrels, birds, geese,ducks, and many many chickens.  Only the chickens did I eat.  So what??

However, I have never had the urge to kill a human.  Why?  Because humans have souls and animals don't.  God gave me power over animals.  Do you guys eat all the bugs and such that you kill?

Here is the real deal with abortion.  By being Pro-murder you men are freely giving up your rights to be involved in your kids life.  You are giving up your rights as a father by saying it is only the woman's choice since it is her body.

And what you are also saying is that you are unwilling to take responsiblity for your own actions, ie getting her pregnant in the first place.

Tell me; would you trust a woman, that you got pregnant, that aborts your kid but never tells you about it??  If so, would you still be surprised when she lies to you later??

Why?

It's a fairly well documented fact that most serial killers' disregard for life started with animals and then spread to people when the thrill wasn't enough. If this shitbag has no more compunction than to do that to a cat, an animal that was in no way harming him without a second thought, it's no stretch for the bottom feeding son of a bitch to do it to the girlfriend or a child if they piss him off.

What an asinine statement. Killing a girlfriend's cat because you're basically a rotten, worthless POS is not the same a spraying the house for roaches. Or killing a spider. It AIN'T the same as hunting and killing a damn duck or a deer. Most hunters try to get a quick, humane kill, and intend to use the game for food. And neither Larry nor me "should have their guns taken away" because we see this asshole for what he is. I'm shocked that anyone would actually [i]defend[/i] what this shitforbrains did. THAT'S what's Un-fucking-believable.

And, yes, since anyone who decided to harm one of MY cats would be in MY home (Since they are inside all the time cats) they would be subject to the reasons I choose to keep and be proficient with firearms. In other words, It'd be their ass.

Unfortunitly you haven't been paying attention, LarryG stated that is he SAW (meaning that if he saw them anywhere) anybody purposely kill an animal he would "kill their ass".  If someone comes into your home and tries to kill your beloved cat...shoot their sorry asses, [b]BUT[/b], when in court you had better damn well say you feared either for your life and/or the life of the others in that house or you'll be spending some quality time in prison for taking the life of someone (albeit in your house) over the loss of a cat.

I wondered about that too. Seemed a bit stiff to me at first glance. After about 3 seconds of concentration, I think I may have a couple of possible reasons why this is..

1) Because there were so many sick fucks killing animals just for the joy of it, and passing that on to their offspring, the law became needed to protect the animals from cruelty.

2)Now that serial killers have been around long enough to study. We have found that they , (many of them), had a penchant for animal torture, and killing when they were young. This history is present in other violent criminal behavior, later exhibited as adults, towards HUMANS.

And.....

I wonder what the response would be here, if this were a 3-4 month old puppy?? Hmmmmmmm??
BTW, he would face the same charges if it were a puppy. That'd be ok??[:D]

AND

Man was given "Dominion" over the earth, and it's inhabitants. That means, we are "Caretakers", NOT abusers, or wanton killers of ANY life.....[;D]

This has already begun, long ago. It's what is behind the Endangered Species Act, the banning of hunting dogs, and the reintroduction of wolves. Restore the natural ecology, nature keeps it's balance, and ban hunting! Of course this requires land set-asides by the FED, so that means more "Wilderness" areas, and "National Monuments". It's been going on for generations...... Wait until you see CARA in action.
